Ice Cream Sandwiches with Graham Crackers

on Jun 17 2026
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 15 minutes (freeze)
Total Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Serving Size 6–8 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream (or any flavor you prefer)
  • 1 box Pamela’s Honey Graham Crackers
  • ¼ cup finely chopped pecans
  • ½ cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips (double for fully dipped sandwiches)
  • 1 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil (double if doubling the chocolate)

Directions

  1. Line a small baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Leave ice cream at room temperature for a good 15-20 minutes, place one small scoop of ice cream between two graham crackers. Press them together and with a knife cut the extra ice cream so it’s flush with the graham crackers.
  3. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least an hour or more.
  4. Place the finely diced pecans on a plate and set aside.
  5. Using a glass measuring cup add the chocolate and coconut oil and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, check to add another 20 seconds or less, and stir until well mixed and there are no more lumps (you can also use a double boiler to do this).
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer and dip the ice cream sandwiches into chocolate, make sure there’s no excess chocolate, then roll it in the pecans and place it back on the baking sheet. You can also add the nuts after but just be very quick since the chocolate will set fast. Place it back in the freezer for at least 15-20 minutes.

    Few things say summer like an ice cream sandwich — and these come together with no baking at all. Creamy ice cream tucked between Pamela's gluten-free Honey Graham Crackers, dipped in chocolate, and rolled in crunchy pecans, then frozen until firm. They're the kind of treat the whole family gathers around, and nobody will guess they're gluten-free.

    Variations & storage

    • Fully dipped: double the chocolate and coconut oil to coat the sandwiches completely.
    • Nut-free: skip the pecans and roll the edges in mini chocolate chips, gluten-free sprinkles, or crushed graham crackers.
    • Make ahead: wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
